Young Brisbane Bronco Matt Berwick in coma after car crash

[Kaz]

RISING Broncos under 20s player Matt Berwick is in a coma at a Brisbane hospital following a car accident last night.
Berwick, a Toyota Cup centre and Queensland Schoolboys representative, was involved in a serious accident on Thursday evening.

"Our under-20s player Matt Berwick was involved in car accident last night,'' Broncos CEO Paul White said in a statement.

"Matthew is in a serious but stable condition. The Broncos have staff with the family (and) are giving them and Matt their full support.

Thoughts are with him & his family.

Beat me by a good 3 minutes.

I echo your sentiments, all the best to him and his loved ones.

Also found the news about him signing an extension not surprising but interesting. I definitely think he could be handy for us out-wide & would like to see how he goes after an off-season with the club. He hasn't had the best year in NYC, injured early and had to adjust to the centres which for mine is the most difficult position in the backs. His size makes him a handful out-wide but like a lot of young centres his defence leaves a bit to be desired.

Poor bugger, hopefully he comes out fine.

Fingers crossed he gets through all this. So long as he survives and can live a happy normal life footy doesn't matter.

Very very sad news. He spent some time with Redcliffe before cracking a spot in the U20s. A really nice young guy. Thoughts & prayers are with his family.

Like Beads said Footy doesn't matter one bit, just hope he makes a full recovery

 

[Fozz]

Hope he pulls through.

"Another function will be held on the Thursday night in Dalby which will raise money for young Dalby rugby league talent and Brisbane Broncos under 20s player Matt Berwick, who remains in a coma in a Brisbane hospital after being involved in a car accident two weeks ago."

 

[Old Mate]

Poor bugger, was hoping he was out of the coma and we just hadn't heard anything.

This sucks immensely. My son is only 2 years younger and this scares the shit out of me!

I really feel for the parents and family at the moment, and just hope young Matt will come back to them without permanent damage!

That's so sad :( Hopefully he can make a full recovery. My thoughts are with his family.

I believe he is not in a coma but has a severe brain injury. He is responsive to people around him but cant communicate.
